Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time originated as a web novel in August 2017, written by Kogitsunemaru and illustrated by Hitogome.

Additionally, a manga adaptation by Taro Sasakama is being released in both Japanese and English through Alpha Manga.

The story follows Takumi Iruma, a boy who inadvertently becomes involved with a group of heroes in a typical isekai setup. Due to a mix-up, the goddess offers him a choice of skills, and he selects a seemingly mundane creation skill. However, this skill proves to be incredibly powerful, enabling him to craft extraordinary items like holy swords and flying ships. As a result, Takumi embarks on an adventure in his new world, earning the title of the "possibly" greatest alchemist.
